About Us

Since its inception, the Minnesota Guardian ad Litem Program has committed itself to giving abused and neglected children a strong voice in our court system. The Program provides advocates who represent the best interests of abused and neglected children in court and are independent from the court and the child welfare system. Guardians’ ad Litem (GALs) are appointed by a judge to represent a child's best interests in court proceedings.

The Minnesota Guardian ad Litem Program is a state agency providing services throughout the state of Minnesota.

Our Human Resources team supports the Guardian ad Litem Program by promoting the concept that our employees are our most valuable resource and will be treated as such. We act as catalysts to enable all Guardian ad Litem employees to contribute at optimum levels of success.
